By encouraging everyone - young and old - to get closer to nature we all gain a greater understanding and enjoyment of the natural world and our place within it.

Studies show that time spent in nature can contribute to our overall well being. Wildlife and green spaces make us happier. The Isle of Man educational and planning system need to allow for more engagement with nature. 

Marine Nature Reserves

Come to our Nature Discovery Centres for a great day out. Manx Wildlife Trust manages two Nature Discovery Centres, one at Scarlett in the south of the Island and one at the Ayres National Nature Reserve in the north.

The Isle of Man is a place of unique beauty, rich in wildlife and stunning landscapes. However, as our environment faces increasing pressures from development, climate change, and human activity, it has become essential to preserve and restore these natural spaces. And we can all play our part. By making room for nature, we protect the delicate balance of ecosystems, ensuring that future generations can enjoy the Island's natural heritage. Creating and maintaining these spaces not only supports biodiversity but also enriches our communities and promotes well-being. Let's work together to make the Isle of Man a place where people and nature can thrive together.
